Why do scales form on bathroom fixtures like taps, showerheads?How do we eliminate them?



Answers:
The scale comes from the minerals in the water. When the water left on the fixture dries up, the minerals remain. Over time they accumulate.

You can minimize their formation by drying off the fixture each time you are finished using it. Getting rid of accumulated scale usually requires acid solvents like Lime-Away or muriatic acid.

It's a lime or calcium buildup. Vinegar will take it off.
Hard water and lime, calicum build up. Best way is to clean the taps regularly and showerheads, also clean the traps inside to keep the water pressure smooth, and conserve on water loss due to build up of deposits.
It may be lime or hard water deposits. Try LimeAway or CLR lime remover.
